what does this have to do with azure cli? as for the powershell, i'd suggest manually removing this outdated module and installing a fresh one — 4c74356b41, Apr 12 '19 at 09:49
Az is NOT outdated module. AzureRM was outdated.. Also, yes it is related to Azure-cli — Deepak Singhal, Apr 12 '19 at 09:58
0.5.0 is outdated, 1.7.0 is the latest version. how is this related to azure-cli? its not connected to powershell in any way shape or form — 4c74356b41, Apr 12 '19 at 10:06
If you would see my second command; that is what I was trying to do update-module Az ; but its throwing exceptions.. Thanks for looking into it.. — Deepak Singhal, Apr 12 '19 at 10:10
I think the confusion here is that Azure PowerShell now has a cross-platform module named `Az`. The name is similar enough to the CLI tool called `az` that these two are being confused within the clarification comments. — David Makogon, Apr 12 '19 at 12:11

Thanks for help to everyone in comments... Here the main problem was the repository itself.. De-registering and registering it back solved the issue.

> Register-PSRepository -Default

Using TLS1.2 connection solved the issue. Try executing below command before installing module Az-

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

In my case the following ways are not in effect.

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
Register-PSRepository -Default

I resolved by installing newer version of AzureRM.

PS> Install-Module -Name AzureRM -AllowClobber

No package Az found
